Abreviated Background:

As she is not a member of the FBI, and as some of the things she has done are in areas not well recorded, Rhyssa's background information is somwhat sketchy. She grew up in New York, raised by an elderly aunt, who died when Rhyssa was quite young. Not deigning to be dropped into foster care, she lived on the street for awhile, picking up and honing her rather unusual talents.

Few formal job records exist for her, but if rumors can be believed, she has worked in just about every concievable illicit profession during her life. Of course, she seems to enjoy encouraging these rumors more than anyone, so some of it may be hyperbole. Still, she has skills useful to the FBI on occasion, and she's discreet about whatever her current side jobs include.

After living with her boyfriend, Dane Vossman, for several years, Rhyssa married him, presumably as a result of an unplanned pregnancy, to judge by several comments made by her to such an effect. Little was known about him, save that he was considered an unskilled laborer, chronically unemployed, and an alcoholic.

In the ninth month of her pregnancy, while taking a leave of absence from the FBI, Rhyssa was severely beaten and apparently left for dead by her husband. After a lengthy recuperation, during which time she gave her infant son up for adoption, she disappeared from view, only to re-emerge, nearly a year later, with no explanation at all. No one was really expecting one. She currently rents a room from SAC Dutton.

Personality and Character Quirks:

When Rhyssa is on hire to the FBI, she'll bring all her own equipment, usually in a black canvas backpack. She's very knowledgeable about security systems and the like, but other than that, she knows practically nothing about electronics.

When working with her, it is wise to give her space, she is very private and doesn't like to be touched at all. She is moderately agoraphobic, so she'll stay in the city, preferably indoors, unless there's a compelling reason not to. One thing Rhyssa hates more than anything is being tied to a job, so it is wise not to try and compell her to remain with the FBI.
